Do you have any relevant experience? No one is going to comment their email and name.
I tried to edit it you’re right. I have schoolwork project
Lmao no one is just going to give you a job because you want to get paid more. You need to be qualified and have experience or a portfolio.
Everyone these days thinks "tech workers have it too easy, I should just get their job" when there are core skill sets behind those good jobs. The sheer audacity here...
OP: middle school teacher is a profession that produces professionals? I think it just produces high schoolers. It’s an integral career and obviously underpaid, but as AM1 pointed out, nobody goes into it to planning on making a lot of money.
From your responses, it seems like you have training but no project experience. That puts you on par with a campus hire. If you have time, try volunteering with an organization in a position that allows you to exercise these skills so you can actual experience to your resume.
I mentored 6 people with no degree in analytics. I gifted a SQL book to 5 people to get started. One guy took a continuing education class in SQL. All of them got jobs as entry level data analysts.
$70k is a stretch for a career transition. Of the 6 mentees. only 1 started with a salary at $100k/yr. She was going from a management position to data analyst. Everybody else started at $50k-$55k. They moved up quickly each year. They hit $80k+ within 3 years, after switching jobs.
With only SQL, all but one hit $100k-$110k base. This is in Dallas, where the salaries are much lower than coastal cities.
Thank you for the encouragement of possibilities.
Be so forreal. No one is commenting their email to throw you a job. Hop on LinkedIn like the rest of us

Hi, this will be very hard right now, data analytics is pretty over saturated, and most college grads can perform basic entry level data analyst roles now (i.e. like 80% of new grads are applying for these same roles). I would look into ed tech as you can say you have industry experience there? Unfortunately ed tech is not going to pay you 70k. Feel free to ask me questions I’m experienced in this field

Also bear in mind, one of my first job offers as an entry level data analyst was 50k in MCOL, with strong aligned academics, so know that you may not see the immediate uplift you are looking for without a prestigious background, bootcamper types are getting crushed right now
